Edge Gateway: More Flexibility, More Control

We're expanding the Edge Gateway for Dispatcher Stratus and Dispatcher ScanTrip Cloud with enhanced management and connectivity options that give organizations greater flexibility and control over how printing is deployed and managed. Building on our earlier introduction of Direct Printing and Passwordless Printing using IPP under a single installer, these new capabilities further simplify print infrastructure while improving deployment and administration.

Best of all, these capabilities are included with every Dispatcher Stratus and Dispatcher ScanTrip Cloud license at no additional cost.

Key Benefits at a Glance

• Replace multiple deployment paths with a single Edge Gateway installer.
• Choose the connectivity model that fits your environment - Cloud, Local, or Hybrid Printing.
• Deploy changes to gateway configurations directly from your tenant in a single global view.
• Enable Direct Printing and Passwordless Printing using IPP.
• No additional licensing costs. Edge Gateway is included with new and existing Dispatcher Stratus and Dispatcher ScanTrip Cloud.

One Gateway. One Experience.

Historically, administrators had to choose between multiple deployment options, including Release2Me printer installations, Direct Print Agents, and IPP Gateway deployments. Each solution came with its own installation process and management requirements.

The Edge Gateway brings these workflows together in a single installer, simplifying deployment while creating a consistent approach to print infrastructure management.

Cloud, Local, or Both

Organizations have different networking, security, and operational requirements. Some want cloud-connected printing, some need print communications to remain local, and many require both.

The Edge Gateway supports multiple connectivity models, including:

• Local only—so your print data never leaves your network
• Cloud and Local—combines local control with cloud-enabled resiliency and management
• Cloud Only—maximize availability and simplify infrastructure

This flexibility allows organizations to support cloud-first initiatives, hybrid environments, distributed offices, and locations with limited connectivity without deploying separate solutions.

Centralized Management Made Easy

Administrators can now manage Edge Gateway configurations directly from your Dispatcher Stratus or Dispatcher ScanTrip Cloud tenant through a centralized Gateways management experience.

From a single location, authorized users can:

• Create and manage gateway configurations
• Assign configurations to one or more gateway instances
• Configure connectivity preferences
• Enable or disable Passwordless Printing

Configuration changes are automatically propagated to associated gateways, eliminating manual configuration updates and helping maintain consistency across locations.

Included with Every License

At a time where other solutions are increasing prices for every feature, Dispatcher Stratus continues to deliver added value by including the Edge Gateway at no additional cost. Edge Gateway is also included with all ScanTrip Cloud licenses.

Simplifying Print Infrastructure

The Edge Gateway continues to evolve as a simpler, more flexible foundation for modern print environments. With centralized management, configurable cloud and local connectivity, and a unified deployment experience, organizations can reduce complexity while maintaining control over how printing services are delivered.
